Bone external fixation system may have the pin that can become dislodged resulting in frame instability, the use of this product may cause a delay in surgery or a revision if the device is use.
As a result of a comprehensive product performance review it was determine that the device and instruments are not consistently meeting expected performance levels. Issues include breakage of the instruments and implant/device.
DICOM SOP Instance UID and Series Instance UID from RayGateway, i.e. the interface to Accuray's iDMS, are not guaranteed to be unique.
Boston Scientific has identified a higher likelihood of air embolism events when procedures are performed without positive pressure-controlled ventilation. According to published literature and clinical data, in percutaneous procedures requiring transseptal access to the left atrium when conscious or deep sedation is used, patients have an approximately three-times higher risk (U.S. study) of negative left atrium pressure and air ingress. This risk is especially prevalent in patients with pre-existing low left atrial pressure, hypovolemia, and partial upper airway collapse.

Certain CADD 50 mL and 100 mL Medication Cassette Reservoirs may exhibit weakened medication bag welds along the bag perimeter inside the plastic housing. This could result in medication leakage along the bag perimeter.
InPen App, CFN: MMT-8060 (iOS Users) and MMT-8061 (Android Users)
Medtronic MiniMed
Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. is recalling InPen App for iOS and Android users due to software design errors that could lead to a missed short-acting insulin dose reminder and a recommendation to correct a high glucose value. It does not impact insulin delivery, long-acting insulin dose reminders, or CGM alerts, and users can still use the pen itself to calculate a dose, deliver insulin, record the dose date/time, and view CGM data. This issue was identified during internal testing before release in the US but after release to OUS customers, no complaints or MDRs related to this recall have been reported. Use of the affected device may result hyperglycemia by failing to alert the user and delay treatment of diabetes.

Due to required inspections not being performed on products/units that have gone through servicing.
The affected devices are the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGM System) using iOS, watchOS and Android App software (versions 2.8.0 or earlier) and Dexcom ONE+ CGM System using iOS and Android App software (versions 1.4.0 or earlier), henceforth referred to as the App. The affected App does not provide an expected "Sensor Failed" alert when the transmitter sends a "transmitterFailed" error message to the App when the CGM experiences a hardware or firmware failure. Instead, the App ends the CGM sensor session, stops reporting glucose values and displays the Start Sensor screen or No active sensor message without alerting the user, which can lead to missed detection of a hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic event and a delay in treatment.
Due to an incorrect test results provided that indicated the incorrect drug therapy recommendation
Certain CADD 50 mL and 100 mL Medication Cassette Reservoirs may exhibit weakened medication bag welds along the bag perimeter inside the plastic housing. This could result in medication leakage along the bag perimeter.
